If the name changes, how is it it supposed to relate the screens to one another. There's not much we can do in this case, unfortunately. How should it know DP-1 is now DP-somethingelse? Well, if names change that easily, they're no reliable identifiers. What about - left screen - right screen ? The screens' position (left/right) did not change, the hardware did not change (resolution, and thus the coordinate origin for the layout). Seems to me much more reliable and stable than arbitrary names, dependent on a driver's whim. Ideally there were also rainbows and unicorns but that's not something we control. |
